Title from caption

"October 3, 1956."

"The information presented here was gathered in the Cedar Key-Crystal River area (Levy and Citrus counties) of the Gulf coast of peninsular Florida ... mostly between April and November, 1955."

"While the main goal of the program is an understanding of the migratory habits of the Atlantic green turtle, Chelonia mydas mydas ... we give early tagging results, measurements, counts, and general observations on two kinds of turtles: the green turtle and the Atlantic ridley, Lepidochelys kempi."
